I have a Katadyn, but have only used the brush once. Just wipe silt from
it with your finger, bandana, or a soft toothbrush. Use their stiff
brush often, and you'll eat up your element sooner.
The Katadyn easily unscrews, which exposes the full exterior surface of
the filter element for wiping or rinsing clean. Especially in the
winter, to protect from freezing, I will unscrew and pour remaining water
out, rather than bothering to hold it horizontal and pumping until dry.
